Question

Find the x-intercept of the following equation. Simplify your answer

x − 7y = –10
x-intercept =

Answer 1

Answer: (-10, 0).

Explanation:

The x-intercept occurs when y = 0. Therefpre if we make y = 0, and solve for x, then we can find the x-intercept.

since x − 7(0) = –10

⇒ x − 0 = –10

x = -10

This makes the x-intercept of x − 7y = –10 (-10, 0).
